  • Dacoit
    Apr 11 2026

    Adivi Sesh is back with Dacoit — a crime thriller packed with twists, betrayal, romance, and a whole lot of convenient chaos.


    In this episode of Paisa Vasool, Sravan and Taran break down whether Dacoit lives up to the standard of Adivi Sesh’s earlier films like Goodachari, Kshanam and Evaru, or whether this one falls into more routine territory.


    They get into the performances from Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, the film’s multiple twists, the COVID-era setting, the shaky logic in the final act, and why this might still be one of the better Telugu films they’ve seen in a while, even if it is not quite top-tier Adivi Sesh.


    Is Dacoit worth watching? Does the big twist actually work? And where does it rank among recent Telugu releases? Tune in for the full discussion.

  • Ustaad Bhagat Singh
    Apr 4 2026

    Power Star Pawan Kalyan is back on the big screen… but was Ustaad Bhagat Singh actually worth the wait?


    In this episode of Paisa Vasool, we break down Harish Shankar’s latest commercial entertainer and ask the big question: is this a proper comeback film, or just another outdated mass masala template?


    We get into the routine first half, the strange tonal shift in the second half, the forced politics, the comedy that mostly doesn’t land, and whether this really deserves to be compared to Gabbar Singh.


    If you’ve watched Ustaad Bhagat Singh and have thoughts, this one’s for you.
